How many ways?

[manuellynch]

Had a conversation with some friends over the weekend about how ineffective communication is today at times and how many ways we have to get a hold of someone. The winner in our pack had 18 ways to get a hold of him:

1) Office phone

2) Personal Mobile phone

3) Work mobile phone

4) Home phone

5) personal email

6) work email

7) secret yahoo email

8) another gmail account

9) an eFAX account

10) a fax machine

11) a SKYPE Instant Message account

12) a Yahoo Instant Message account

13) a user membership on a business message board

14) a user membership on an adult message board

15) a user membership on a sport message board

16) you could mail him at his office

17) you could mail him at his home

18) you could mail him to his personal PO box

And what we laughed about is that you can never reach the guy.

So are all these communication portals making it easier to get a hold of people or making it easier for us to hide from contact?

Would like to hear if anyone has over 18 ways to get a hold of them - I thought this was crazy. I had 8 ways.

Don't forget the latest craze, text messaging. That would add 3 more way. One to each of his cell phones.

And then the old fashion way - ring the door bell.
